Chapter 3861: Hard to Guard Against
The scar-faced man’s mouth was agape, but the flaw in this lie was too big. He didn’t even know how to cover it up.
He thought for a moment, then sighed, and said, “Actually, I had really fought with Lu Qi before, but at that time, I was only a nameless pawn, and there were also other people. However, I was struck by a flash of Sword Qi from Lu Qi, and was disfigured.”
The truth of these words was much higher.
In truth, Ling Han had no intention to pursue the matter of whether this person had fought with Lu Qi or not. He had only pursued the matter out of curiosity.
He smiled, “Judging by your tone, it seems like you are no longer a nameless nobody?”
“Of course.” The scar-faced man’s tail was about to stick up again.
“Dare I ask how should I address this elite?” Ling Han asked with a smile.
“I’m Li Zisuan.” The scar-faced man raised his head high, yet when the blade of the sword scraped past him, blood instantly gushed out, causing him to hurriedly shrink his neck. His image was completely ruined.
Ling Han patted that person’s shoulder, “Come, tell me about your understanding of the White Lotus Mystery Realm.”
Li Zisuan didn’t dare to hide anything, and he revealed everything he knew.
His strength could only be considered average, but the clan he had come from was still quite strong, and had given him an entry spot. And because he had always boasted that he had fought with Lu Qi, he did have some reputation. Otherwise, merely having the reputation of the clan was not enough.
Ling Han couldn’t help but feel surprised. He was actually qualified to boast like this; this person was quite capable.
After talking for half a day, Ling Han nodded, “You can leave now.”
“Really?” Li Zisuan was delighted, and also in disbelief.
“Could it be that you still want to stay?” Ling Han asked with a smile.
“Hehe, thank you, thank you.” Li Zisuan hurriedly bowed and thanked him, then slipped away.
Ling Han naturally would not take this kind of minor character to heart. However, from the other party’s words, he had gained a little more understanding of this Mystery Realm.
He also continued on his way. Another two days later, he finally reached the end of this desolate plain.
In these two days, he had also encountered a few people, but no conflicts broke out. Without involving any treasures, very few people would provoke him for no reason. After all, there were not many people who were as arrogant and domineering as that.
At the end of the desolate plain, there was a mountain of flames.
This was not a mountain that was burning fiercely, but was rather filled with holes. Occasionally, a flame would spew out of these holes, and shoot out to a height of six to nine meters.
Boom, boom, boom! Multiple flames rose and fell, as if they were playing a piece of music. Ling Han didn’t immediately walk up. Instead, he observed for a while, and saw that there were also shattered seals flickering in the flames.
Tsk, this destructive power would be different in that case.
Ling Han activated the Starlight Screen, then walked over and stood there without moving. Boom, a flame shot out, and a hole was immediately burned into the Starlight Screen. Then, the flame blasted towards him.
He was already prepared, and hurriedly leaped out, dodging the flames.
Thankfully, though the destructive power of the flames was great, the speed at which they gushed out could not be considered very fast.
However, even the Starlight Screen was unable to block a single strike. The might of these flames was at least on the level of the Core Formation Tier. In fact, even a Core Formation Tier could possibly be severely wounded.
There were many holes on the mountain, and occasionally, a surge of flames would rush out. It was practically impossible to guard against.
Of course, this was unless he could find a pattern to it.
Ling Han stood upright and still, but his eyes could see everything clearly.
He was analyzing and calculating, but though the gushing of the flames seemed to be very rhythmic, they kept changing, as if there wasn’t any repetition at all.
However, just as Ling Han was feeling a headache coming on, he shockingly discovered that someone had taken out two rocks and tied them under each foot respectively. Then, he stepped into the volcanic area.
A miraculous scene appeared. Flames surged out, but did not burn these two rocks.
Though that person’s appearance was comical, he successfully left into the distance.
Ling Han saw very clearly that the rocks had come from the desolate plain behind them. There were a great many of them.
He couldn’t help but sigh. This was experience.
He turned around and returned to the desolate plains. Ling Han stowed away two rocks and placed them into his Spatial Tool. After some thought, he took a few more rocks. What if they burned for too long and still broke?
He returned, and did the same thing. Then, he headed up the mountain.
Boom, a flame rushed out, instantly burning the rock to burst.
Ling Han hurriedly used Imminent Skyline, narrowly dodging this attack.
He couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat. He had almost been hit head-on, and with the might of the flames, it was enough to severely injure him.
Why couldn’t he?
Ling Han took out the stones in his Spatial Tool, one after another, and threw them up the mountain to fill in the holes.
Boom, pa! Boom, pa! Boom, pa!
Each stone was thrown, one after another, and would be burnt to burst, infuriating Ling Han so much that he threw out all the remaining stones.
Pa, pa, pa, pa! Explosions rang out endlessly, and those rocks shattered one after another.
Hold on.
Ling Han’s sharp gaze stopped on a rock. It had not shattered, but had rather suppressed a
hole.
He spent some effort to retrieve this stone.
What was so special about this stone?
Ling Han looked closely, and soon discovered that there was a very thin black pattern on this
rock.
Was this the key?
Ling Han returned to the desolate plain, and examined carefully. True enough, the majority of the stones did not have any black patterns.
He found a few stones with black patterns, and brought them back to the Flame Mountain to make another attempt. As expected, the stones with black patterns could suppress the holes. No wonder that person had not avoided him at all, allowing him to see how he should cross the mountain of flames. As it turned out, that person was not being generous at all, but was deliberately screwing him over.
-Who would have thought that there was actually requirements for this stone?
Previously, if it was not for the fact that Ling Han’s reaction speed was fast enough, he would either be severely injured or dead by now.
What a treacherous guy.
Ling Han thought back to that person’s appearance, and very soon, outlined it in his mind.
Fine, when he saw him in future, he would definitely give him a good beating. Ling Han didn’t need to tie the rocks to his feet. His feet generated a suction force that was enough to firmly lock the rocks that weighed several thousand kilograms.
Xiu, he shot out, and leapt on the flaming mountain as if he was flying.
The width of this mountain of flames was incredibly shocking, but its depth was considerably limited. Ling Han only crossed two mountains, and a desert appeared ahead of him.
He leaped down, and saw that the two rocks had endured the barrage of flames many times,
and were more or less burnt. If his speed was slightly slower, he would have to replace them
with new rocks.
Ling Han turned around to take a look before continuing to advance.
This desert was extremely large. The sun was at the top of the sky, and the sunlight was blazing, turning this place into a furnace. Even if Ling Han had a high cultivation level, sweat still rolled down his forehead. He had not walked for too long, when he felt dehydrated.
F***, he couldn’t bear it.
He activated the Starlight Screen, and the scorching heat instantly subsided by a significant
amount.
However, Ling Han discovered that this kind of high temperature had a very strong destructive effect on the Starlight Screen. He had to continuously replenish the energy expenditure of the Starlight Screen.
If his reserves of mystical power weren’t close to unlimited, he really wouldn’t be able to withstand this kind of expenditure. But now, it didn’t matter. What was a little expenditure
worth?
